    Batch-specific filenames?

    Is there a way to configure the output path or filenames to be partly dependent on the batch?

    For example, is there a [batchid] variable I can insert in the file specification? The FAQ on naming doesn't list any.

    There is [unique] but this is only unique on a file basis, not batch.

      I myself do not use [BatchID] but I do use [BatchName]. I use this in my naming script like so:
      \[tag]batchname[]\Accurate\[IFCOMP][IFVALUE]album...
      Then when I start a new batch (which for me is a new customer's order) I fill the batch name field (in BatchRipper) with the customer's name. This results for me in the files for each customer (batch) being saved in a folder named for the customer under my root ripping folder like so.
      H:\John Doe\Accurate\Metallica\...

      In order for this to work you must have BatchRipper setup to save the batchname in the metadata tags. I imagine this same type of setup would also work with batchid but as I say I do not use batchid so I can not say for sure.
